Agents of Mayhem is an open world game- worse, it is a western AAA open world game, which means there are loads of stuff scattered around all over the place.

We know that most people won’t bother doing that- but you, brave soul, will. You will try and aim for a full 100% completion rate in this game after all- that is why we are here to help you. In this guide, we help you gain some of them in this game.

HOW TO UNLOCK RELIC TRADING COMPANY POSTS

• Level up your agency
• Once you reach a certain level, you unlock the Requisitions department which will unlock Relic outposts on the map
• Capturing Relic outposts gets you $180 per minute

INTEL

There are two main ways of earning Intel in the game- Recon Run missions (can be repeated and are easy, but with very small yields), and Hostage Rescue objectives (similar to Recon Run).

Taking down Legion Controlled Outposts also nets intel, usually 30-40 at a time- so that is what you want to try for whenever you can.

REGION KEYS

• Reach Level 8
• Unlock Global Conflict
• Send agents around the world to capture Regions
• Capturing Regions gets you their keys

WARP POINTS

Warp points help you quick travel around the world- what’s not to like? Of course, you need to discover them first. You will find the warp points in the Northeastern, Northwestern, Southeastern and Southwestern parts of the map.

Agents of Mayhem isn’t necessarily a hard game, but no one ever said no to tipping the odds in your favor some more, did it? Sadly, the game exists in the modern era, and cheat codes are now a thing of the past- that said,  glitches, or ones that are simply taking advantage of unintended consequences of how a game is designed, do exist, and in this guide, we walk you through some of those.

INFINITE CHESTS

The thing with Agents of Mayhem is that it does not have any persistence or permanence for its open world- so leaving an area and returning to it causes that area to revert to its previous state. In other words, if you were to find an area with a number of chests, you could open them all, leave the area, come back, and open the all again, getting bonuses and loot endlessly. The video below shows this in action.

CHEATS

Nine cheats have been released for the PC version of the game. They grant the following:

• Infinite Health
• Infinite Shield
• No Reload
• Set Cash
• Set Cores
• Set Scrap
• Set Machine Parts
• Set Elemental Fragments
• Set Intel

Feel free to download them for yourself by visiting here, but bear in mind you alone are responsible for the results.

FAST XP, MONEY, AND LOOT

Like any RPG, the three main currencies in Agents of Mayhem are EXP, money, and loot- so getting a lot of them will always be beneficial for you. This video below shows you how to get a lot of EXP, money, and loot, and quickly.

Agents of Mayhem, like any other modern open world game of its ilk, lets players obtain new vehicles to use in the overworld- but you don’t get them by buying them from NPCs. Instead, instead you need to find their blueprints and components, and then construct them for yourself.

This is already annoying, but Agents of Mayhem makes it even more so by not having a set spawn for the blueprints and components- they appear randomly throughout the map for some asinine reason. So. Here we are.

First, let’s look at the weapons you can get from these blueprints and components:

• Hammerhead
• Attrazione
• Pulse
• Enforcer
• Torch
• Mockingbird
• Eiswolf
• Neuron
• Mongoose
• Scorpion

Okay, now for some advice on trying your best to get the components and blueprints:

• Make sure to beat the Hammersmith in the Vehicle Bay of the ARK to be able to actually obtain the vehicles once you acquire them.
• Open every chest you see
• Get the upgrades that let you scan a larger area, and the ones that let you scan for chests in an area
• Complete loads of side-quests (specifically Mayhem Deliveries)
• Complete Global Conflicts

Agents of Mayhem offers 49 Achievements (plus a Platinum Trophy if you are playing on PS4)- right, so that’s a lot. As with a lot of other things in the game, that is a lot to keep track of, and assuming you are  Trophy/Achievement hunter or completionist, this can gnaw away at you on the inside.

Unless… unless you decide to do the sensible thing and use your guide to figure out how to get these Achievements/Trophies for yourself. You get peace of mind, and we get… well, we got you to read this guide I worked on, so I guess we can chalk that up as a win. In this guide, we list these out, and where possible, also include videos so you know exactly what to do.

Agents of Mayhem is a unique open world action game that is part RPG, part GTA5‘s character switching taken to one hell of an gameplay experience. Taking place in Seoul, South Korea, Agents of Mayhem necessitates you playing as multiple characters, rotating through them like you would weapons in a loadout, using them as and when necessary.

One of these characters is Gat, who is now a Lieutenant of the police department in Seoul. I understand a lot of players will want to play as him- since he remains one of the most popular Saints Row characters, after all. And if you do decide to play as him, you may want to know his abilities, upgrades, and more so you can leverage them effectively, and use Gat appropriately.

That’s why we’re here. Use this guide to familiarize yourself with Gat and his abilities and upgrades.

ABILITY: 

• HAND CANON: Gat freezes into place but auto locks-on to targets
• MAC-10 Fire: Bullets that travel hard, fast, at 45º angles
• CHEATING DEATH: Gain two stacks of Fortify when your health is low

GADGETS:

• Spray and Prey: A high powered SMG dealing high damage within a cone
• Nowhere to Hide: Same as Spray and Prey, but with a wider and shorter cone
• Line of Attack: Special Ability cooldown reduced by 25% for weapon kills
• Death Penalty: Gat’s shotgun does 20% increased damage but has a smaller clip.

UPGRADES:

• Shoot First: +6% increase to reload speed
• Fighting Mad: Cheating Death activates at 2% higher health
• Countermeasures: +2% weapon damage
• Death on Arrival: +2% Crit damage

With 14 agents to keep track of, Agents of Mayhem expects a lot from the player- because without keeping track of all of them, you can’t do well in the game. You need to know each agent’s abilities, powers, utility, and appropriate use case situation, among other things. Your agents are like weapons in a loadout- you need to know how, when, and what to use, to be able to do well in the game’s unique take on open world action.

That’s where we come in. In this guide, we walk you through using Joule, by enumerating her abilities, and giving you an introduction video for her. Let’s get started.

ABILITIES

CORE UPGRADES

Hardtack is your typical military marine hero in Agents of Mayhem, a new game in the Saints Row franchise that represents Volition’s unique take on open world action. The world becomes a sandbox, and you need to play as and develop multiple characters, treating each as weapons in a loadout, if you are to prevail.

But even said weapons in a loadout have their own unique perks and disadvantages, with their own special abilities, unique upgrades, gadgets, and more. Trying to keep track of all of that for each character, and knowing when best to use one, can be daunting and overwhelming- so we do it for you.

Check out the video below, as well as out enumeration of Hardtack’s abilities, to get an idea of how the character plays.

With fourteen characters to keep track of in Agents of Mayhem, players can often feel overwhelmed and daunted by trying to keep a track of everyone and everything, as well as all their associated abilities and upgrades. It’s frankly a lot that you are expected to be aware of at all times.

And yet, you have to keep track, if you want to do well in the game’s unique take on open world action. But never fear- that’s why we’re here! In this guide, we walk you through Fortune’s abilities. You can also watch the video for yourself to get acquainted with her, her gadgets, her powers, upgrades, and so on. Let’s get started.

Kingpin, who originally united all the gangs of Stilwater to push back against LEGION, has been recruited into MAYHEM, which means he will now be one of the fourteen playable characters in Agents of Mayhem.

Given just how important it is for you to be able to able to keep up with each agent, their abilities, their upgrades, and more- since in Agents of Mayhem, each agent is basically like a weapon in a loadout, and you are supposed to use all of them in appropriate situations- you probably want to familiarize yourself with him.

That is where we come in.

ABILITIES

• Self Destructive: Sets off your SMG like a grenade, damaging anyone caught in the blast
• Anger Management: Calls in your boombox, leading to all enemies nearby to dance
• Assault Rifle/Shotgun Combo: Be ready for any situation

CORE UPGRADES:

• Banger: Ends the Mayhem ability in an explosion that damages everyone who was dancing
• Rough Em Up: Automatically gives you the buff from your equipped ability when you get a melee kill

You have to play as all of the agents in Agents of Mayhem, you have to develop all of them, you need to be cognizant of them all, and their abilities, their powers, upgrades, and what they bring to the table- you need to know all this, or you can’t do well in the game.

It’s a lot to keep track of- but that’s where we come in. In this guide, we walk you through Hollywood’s gadgets, upgrades, and abilities.
